Your Feedback Please!
Kia ora tatou:
If you have been following this blog, you will have seen a variety of articles on different aspects of photography. I have tried to keep them as varied as possible and (hopefully) interesting. Well now I need some feedback.
Please let me know which ones work for you, which bore the c*#p out of you and what you would like to see in future.
Please give me your feedback as a comment, rather than emailing me direct. if you can, identify your expertise level, so those of you I do not personally know can be accommodated.

Kia ora Tony,
A hard one to answer. I don't recall any post that bored the stuffing out of me — far from it. Each style has characteristics that make it interesting for me. Maybe that's one of the strengths of your blog: its diversity; the expectation of not knowing what to expect.
If I had to choose the type of post I'd most look forward to reading, I'd probably identify those where you discuss attitudes and approaches to becoming a better photographer. The "Art of Seeing" posts are classics in this area.
I also appreciate and learn heaps from your photos, regardless of whether you refer to them in the post or not.
Finally, the posts I most miss reading are those you haven't posted yet.
(Come on all you other shy non-commenters out there. I'm sure I'm as keen as Tony to hear other voices).
Hi Tony
I have been following your blog since John Boyd recommended it in an article he wrote, and thoroughly enjoying the content.
I have particularly enjoyed the type of content in your last 2 posts as I have only been seriously photographing for around 3 years. I am learning by reading your blog.
Thanks again and keep it up.
laHi Tony
I've been interested in most of what you've said but probably it's the ones like the Art of Seeing that I'm most likely to use, rather than the gear ones. Exercises/challenges are cool too. At the least, they get me thinking. And as far as broad-brush photography areas go, I'm still keenest on landscape and close-up, so seeing examples and discussion round that is great.
Cheers, Rebecca (Officer)
I am most interested in the way of seeing type posts as well, although I did start using rawshooter essentials after you recommended it one day, and have used it ever since.
Most of all I like your photos, and the posts which discuss them. I am still "learning to see" and need all the help I can get.
Tony: I've found everything you've written interesting, even the posts not particularly relevant to my photography at this time. However, the posts I reread are the ones about making images. These are the ones that give me something to think about and to try out. To my mind, "The Art of Seeing" posts are tops. (I'm still chewing over the Panorama one.)
I think your greatest strength as a teacher is the way you throw out ideas and challenges to be picked up (or not - no compulsion!) and interpreted in any way that takes our fancy. You have no preconceived ideas of what sort of image we should be producing and this makes it safe to make mistakes as we explore. It gives us the freedom to delve inside ourselves to discover ideas there that we hadn't known existed and to produce work that we had never guessed we could create. Keep producing the technical posts - gear as well as the practicalities of photography - but please, continue to throw us things we can get our imaginative photography-teeth into, too.
